#lifebeforeinstagram

It was roughly 11 years ago (before Instagram ever existed) I built my first house... while in Mexico... with a crew of ~8 high school students and my wife... and this hammer... and one circular saw (corded). Every nail was hand driven. It was a learning experience before I had even thought about trades full time. I was most experienced and given the (single) power tool. Moral of the story: don’t let flashy photos convince you the the nicest tools are required to complete good work. A hammer is a hammer, a saw is a saw. If they are functioning, go to work and put your best out there. It is better to have flashy work and “reject” tools than to have your work rejected because you put all your effort into building a flashy set of tools. /rant #motivationalmonday #missiontrip #lifebeforeinstagram • . . . . . #hammer #craftsman #truestory #mystory #carpenter #carpentry #woodworking #woodworker #woodwork #framer #framing #framersareadyingbreed #buildersofinsta #bluecollar #construction #framersofig #roughframing #tools #toolsofthetrade #handtools #rant (at Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu41hhOghI5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1n83fop9tdqrs

Reminiscing on a Sunday #throwback #yoljoobeforeburay . A 12-year-old Yoljoo with @yusrykru 🙈 . In my teens, I was a fan of KRU, a band of 3 brothers - Norman, Yusry and Edry from Malaysia. Yusry was my most favourite, obviously. 😍 . [ Interesting Fact: Yusry is also born on 15 June, same like Buray. I don't know what's with me and 15-June'rs ] . 15 years after this photo was taken, I got the opportunity to do a full-on interview with Yusry for my column at the entertainment magazine where I was working. Who would have imagined? Wildest dreams do come true. 💕 . At the reunion concert to celebrate KRU's 25th year in music, my flood gates exploded. I cried from the first to last song. With every song were memories from when I was a little girl, through the teenage years, the puppy love, the friends loved and lost... . Music has always been a huge influence since I was young. Wasn't a surprise when I ended up working behind the scenes in the media and entertainment industry. Perhaps thats why I relate well to how it feels being a fan.💞 . Thank you KRU for being that 'role model' every parent would want for their teen. I think I turned out quite alright as an adult. #lol 🤣 . I still have all the magazine cut-outs, posters, banners and merch from the '90s if you guys ever need assets for your KRU gallery/exhibition/museum. #kruposse  . #tbt #KRU25 #lifebeforeinstagram #notagroupie #fangirl #diaryofafangirl #wildestdream #musiclover #kru #yusrykru #KRUreunion #kruconcert #edrykru #normankru #fanatik #krumania . @edryabdhalim @norman_kru @krumusic (at Singapore)
